Hi you all! I finished the previous challenge which I couldn't lose weight but weigh myself every day and try to control myself. That was something to start. In this challenge, my aim is to REALLY control myself. My goals are:
*Not to eat junk food
*Drink alcohol max 3 glasses in 10 days (if possible no drink because of reflux)
*Go to the gym 6 times in 10 days
*Drink enough water
*Don't drink coffee for a while (because of reflux)
9/25
I forgot to weigh myself today, because of being late to the work... But yesterday I drank a little alcohol and ate too many carbs (pasta...), not a good day.
9/26 85.9 kg (189.3 lbs)
Failed too soon. I ate Nutella with a spoon and it wasn't enough I ate a whole chocolate bar. Don't know why I'm doing this... And I'm very busy and tired these days with work, for this reason, I cannot go to the gym. If I've been motivated enough I believe I could go, but I'm not yet... I hope today I won't disappoint myself.
9/27 85.7 kg (188.9 lbs)
Yay! I hope I get rid of 86's at last! Yesterday was good, no junk food and alcohol. However, I couldn't go to the gym. I was busy all day and really exhausted.
9/28 85.5 kg (188.4 lbs)
Yes, this is the right way. I'm really happy I'm kinda getting better. Yesterday night even I was tired I went to the gym. I didn't eat junk food or drink alcohol. However, I always eat carbs. I'm a vegetarian and so it's kinda hard to decrease carbs, but I don't have to eat bread all day...
9/29
I didn't weight myself this day, because I was sick because of drinking too much alcohol...
9/30 85.9 kg (189.3 lbs)
Not surprising, because of the other day I drank too much...
10/1 86 kg (189.5 lbs)
Yesterday was good actually. I woke up early and went to the gym and did some housework. Diet was kinda ok, didn't eat junk food and didn't drink alcohol.
10/2 86.1 kg (189.8 lbs)
I couldn't let myself from deserts...
10/3 85.8 kg (189.1 lbs)
Actually yesterday I was thinking to give up on the challenge because I cannot control my diet. However, today's weight gave me some motivation. I hope I'll finish the challenge 85.5 kg.

Female, 46yo, 5’4” I am an advanced age mother to 2 little boys (4yo & 17mo). I want to lose weight so I have less pain and can do more with my kids.
This is my 1st 10 day challenge. We are having a weight-loss competition at work (% body weight lost) and this is my motivation to get back on track. It started 8/1 and ends 10/31. I’m not typically a competitive person but I’m setting out to win this competition and if I lose 30+ lbs and don’t win, I’ll still be a winner in my own mind!

Intentional Exercise 5/10 days
Weight in the 260s
Day/Weight/Comment
9/25: 271.4 logged all food, went to the gym and worked back & biceps + bike, 125g protein
9/26: 270.4 logged all food, went to the gym and worked chest & triceps + bike, 115g protein
9/27:DNW logged all food, 121g protein
9/28 272.2 logged all food, 104g protein, was supposed to go to the gym but ended up working late and needed to get home to my kiddos & hubby
9/29 273.6 WHAT is going on here?? I've been under my calorie goal every day since Sunday and then I was only over by 20 calories. This is so frustrating! 89g protein
9/30 DNW logged all food, went to the gym and worked legs + bike, 96g protein
10/1: 272.2 at least going back in the right direction but still up. Today is inventory day at work w/ tons of donuts all day and they are supplying pizza for lunch. I don't get it, they sponsor this weight loss challenge then they don't offer any healthy options. This will be a challenging day. I want to lose weight more than I want donuts & pizza! I did it!!! I resisted all those donuts & pizza! I ended up going for a 20 min walk w/ hubby & the kids in the evening which isn't huge, but it's still way better than my norm. Ate all those calories and a few more - ended up at 1585 calories for the day, 124g protein.
10/2 272.4 feeling really discouraged, it's looking like my goal for this round and my end of month goal may not be reachable, 102g protein
10/3 270.6 Wednesdays are my "official" weigh in day so I've actually gained 0.2 lb since last weeks "official" weigh in Didn't make it to the gym last night because I had the baby while hubby took the 4 year old to swim lessons. Have to make it to the gym tonight!

Female, 33yo 5'3
Starting weight on Monday (9/24) 177LBS
9/25- 175.4 Hit the gym and lifted weights, kept cals. in check for the day, feeling good!
9/26 -174.6 Hit the gym again for cardio trying to make it a habit so I went Mon, Tues and Wed so far this week. Will be going tomorrow as well for weight training.
9/27- 174.2 Hit the gym again this morning (4am), weight training and intervals on the treadmill. Eating went well again yesterday stayed the course. I need some rest, so no gym tomorrow morning. I will make an effort to get up and move while at work though.
9/28- 173.2 No gym truly needed the rest after 4 consecutive days, will walk for 30mins at lunch today. Also, will be back at the gym tomorrow for weight training/cardio. Feeling pretty good, but the weekend scares me as that's where I usually fall off. My goal for this weekend is to at least maintain this current weight till Monday.
9/29- 173.2 Made it to the gym for weight training and cardio first thing this morning, unfortunately I don't have a plan for eating but I may do grocery shopping today for some healthy options. My goal is to at least maintain 173.2lb until Monday
9/30- 173.2 Not sure how I managed to be 173.2 again especially considering I haven't made the best food choices this weekend, but I'll take it. No gym or treadmill today, to much to do, but I will be at it in the morning. Really hoping I have maintained at least 173.2 on Monday morning weigh-in.
10/1- 173.2 I made it 173.2 again today probably because I didn't pay much attention to macros this weekend pretty much ate at maintenance or a little above. I am happy with this because I had been on a cycle of gaining tons of water weight (probably fat also) during the weekends, then working it off on the weekday. At least now I don't have to feel like I'm starting over. No gym today still a bit soar decided to just get rest will be at tomorrow morning for weight training/cardio. Goal today is at least 10K steps.
10/2- 173.2 So, I guess I'm stuck now, yesterday went well until the evening when I decided to eat 2 chocolate covered granola bars (kids snacks). Maybe that's why the scale didn't move down, but I won't be discouraged. I went to the gym this morning for weights/cardio, I plan to do my best to make it there tomorrow for an hour of cardio as well. I have to get the evenings back in check, I did pretty well last week with avoiding the late night snacking.
10/3- 171.2 Woosh effect, maybe? Feeling good with that number controlled my late night snacking habit yesterday or really was just to tired to eat. No gym this am, I was sleepy. Weight training/cardio for sure tomorrow though.

9/25 155.6 well well well, look who decided to show lol. So apparently my mind can't adjust fast enough to my new weight (especially because I thinks it's the fastest I have ever lost) so being apart of a few groups I accidently weighed in last weekend at 166.6 instead of 156.6 😣😣 oops. Well you are all witnesses to the proof I have of my actual weight lol. But even still, every morning I still have to check 3 or 4 times because I can't believe it. Hopefully the next 10 pounds won't be as unbelievable.
9/26 154.4 whoooooooooosh!! Why, no clue. I did work out hard yesterday but still... wow. Today I have been having some anxiety. I have worked out hard and have been eating normally. I don't starve and I don't deny myself (unless it's super junk food, then that's all will power) I know mentally I have been doing everything right and my quick weight loss is all activity and portion control....but I'm starting to feel scared. I'm scared that it will be so easy to gain it all back if I jump the wagon again..I'm scared of having to do this again for 10000 time if i slack. I am looking forward to improve and not be re set into my old ways but who knows what the future holds. The only reassurance I have is not all my rounds have been perfect and weeks like last week have happened ( I was so hungry all week and pretty much had the worst eating week since I have started) but my gains haven't been too large and I still end it with losses. I am assuming as long as I never binge again I will be fine...but I don't know.
9/27 154.4 holding steady. I had munchies last night but settled for 2 pieces of dark chocolate. Worked out well but didn't do as much as I wanted. Drank 1.2 liters of water. I am feeling bloated though, 2 days away from TOM. Today I went to the hospital with my aunt, she has some inflammation in her leg and we just wanted to check it out, just in case (she is a cancer survivor so anything becomes worrisome) and to thank me for coming out she took me to a pub where we ordered chicken schnitzel and frites..it was delicious but I know it will negatively reflect on my weight tomorrow morning. Oops😞😞
9/28 154 wow. Didn't expect this. I guess I didn't do as much damage as I thought. TOM is due tomorrow and I usually expect a gain but this time hasn't seemed too bad which is kind of weird. Well see what happens tomorrow
9/29 155.8 and whoooosh back up again 😥😥😫😥 that's ok, I expected this given my TOM arrived and I am feeling crazy bloated. Yesterday I had a high sodium day as well so that definitley has something to do with it. Past couple of days haven't been great in the eating department but I am done all my responsibilities that have been derailing me so back at it today and back to regular schedule. I feel like the past two weeks have been weird so I am changing it from here on out to get back in control and stop laxing...and now that my TOM has arrived I have no excuse. Honestly I don't even care about my weight...at all I just don't want to feel bloated and puggy anymore lol... ackkkk what a day. I also am going to have to work on my mentality. I am not being negative but I am starting to feel more obsessed when I need to exchange that for greatfulness.
For example if I get in an hour and a half of cardio and no strength for the day, I need to stop giving myself a hard time because I don't think it's enough. I have to accept there aren't enough hours in the day. I have been finding that if I don't work out for 3+ hours I give myself issues...but after doing the math it just isn't possible without sacrificing eating or sleeping...so that needs to stop.
9/30 no scale. Had to get up and go grocery shopping with my mom and wasn't able to weigh in. I originally wanted to, to keep myself accountable because I had a big binge day yesterday 😣😣 wasn't good at all and got very little exercise in. So far today I have been good (probably because I am still full from yesterday's binge) but we will have to see how it reflects on my weight for tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great weekend though 😄
10/1 156.8 yikes. This weekend's binge was awful. I was good yesterday but Saturday I definitley over did it... a lot. I couldn't stop eating. I did work out yesterday a bit, was walking a good portion of the day and drank 1 liter of water. Once again back at it again. No more sabotage. It's a new month and the start of a new week ☺ In the past this would have crippled my mood, even if I known it is completely my fault but this time I am looking ahead. It's over and done with...onwards and downwards lol
10/2 156.6 ate good yesterday and had 1 liter of water. Exercised good but I am still waiting for this weight to drop again. I am hoping for a big whoosh the next couple of days so hopefully I can at least end on a loss if not my goal..but who knows. Weight is always a tricky thing to predict. I am still trying to keep my head up though. I'm still learning.
10/3 156.2 sllooowwly going down. One day of cheating ends in working four days to take it off...pfft. I exercised good yesterday, drank 1 liter and ate well. I'm greatful I am feeling patient with myself ...if it had been last week I don't think I would have been as patient. One more day and I will fight for it

9/30 - 180- weighed when I got home last night and was at 179, then I had 3 cups of tea and nothing else. I ate carefully and we walked instead of Ubering, but the food must have been salty. Tomorrow will look better on the scale.🤷♀️

In for my 11th Round!
Round 44 End Weight = 165.8 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 45 End Weight = 164.9 (0.9 lbs lost)
Round 46 End Weight = 159.6 (5.2 lbs lost)
Round 47 End Weight = 157.2 (2.4 lbs lost)
Round 48 End Weight = 155.2 (2.0 lbs lost)
Round 49 End Weight = 151.2 (4.0 lbs lost)
Round 50 End Weight = 149.9 (1.3 lbs lost)
Round 51 End Weight = 146.2 (3.7 lbs lost)
Round 52 End Weight = 143.7 (2.5 lbs lost)
Round 53 End Weight = 143.1 (0.6 lbs lost)
Stats = 5'4 female, age 48
Highest Weight = 172 lbs (June 18, 2018)
Initial Goal Weight = 139 lbs (last weighed this is 2013)
Ultimate Goal Weight = 129 lbs (last weighed this in 2011)
Round 54 Goal: Range of 139.9-142.0 (Either my weigh-loss is really slowing down and I need a more reasonable goal OR I am due for a big loss after the last round and a more aggressive goal is possible)
Exercise Plan = The Betty Rocker 90 Day Challenge (in weeks 10-11), run outside 3-4 times a week, get 8,000-10,000 steps/day
Nutrition Plan = Continue to limit gluten, dairy, sugar, diet soda, alcohol & eat non-processed foods, protein/fruit/veg at every meal, complex carbs at breakfast and post workout meal, drink plenty of water.
9/25 = 143.7 (up .6 from yesterday) Little bounce back up, went out to dinner last night, made good choices, most likely under calories but retaining water. My scale still has my water percentage up over 2% from it's normal number. Yesterday was a rest day in my 90 day challenge, but back at it today with day 64 of 90. Plus lots and lots of lemon & cucumber water today. I'm looking for a whoosh to be coming this week! Welcome to all out new group members!
9/26 = 142.9 (down .8 from yesterday) Small drop down from my Sunday weight. If the water percentage on my scale is correct, I'm still retaining water though. Yesterday I really didn't eat much, wasn't very hungry until it was too late at night. I do 16:8 so once the window closes, I'm done for the night. I completed day 64 of 90 workout yesterday and it was the hardest one yet. It really got me! Today is day 65 of 90, I haven't looked at it yet to see what it is, but I imagine it will be a tough one as well!
9/27 = 142.0 (down .9 from yesterday) Very challenging day yesterday. I've mentioned before my daughter has mental health issues (how I dealt with this stress was the cause of my weight gain) and yesterday was one of those days. She goes long periods of time with everything being relatively "normal' but really the anxiety is building underneath and waiting to explode. Yesterday was an explosion. I did not get my workout in due to this BUT I handled the stressful situation much better than in the past & did NOT stress eat & did NOT self-medicate with wine. Calling it a difficult but successful day. We saw her therapist last night, adjusted her medication & she is in much better spirits this morning. Today, I have a very busy day at work, my boss is going out of the country for 2 weeks so lots to get done before he goes and this evening I am hosting a party with some ladies from my social club. I've got a couple hors d'oeuvres to prep for the party and really want a mani/pedi, not enough hours in the day. BUT, I've got to make time for some self-care today and the best thing for me is to get out & go for a run and do some yoga. In the past I sacrificed myself and my needs to focus 100% on my daughter but I know now I have to take care of myself so that I am able to be there in the best possible way for her. "You can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first."
9/28 = 141.5 (down .5 from yesterday) Besides one mishap yesterday was a very good day. My daughter's teacher reported in that she had one of her best days since school started this year. Such good news I got everything pressing at work accomplished, went for a run, did day 67 of 90 workout, got my party food made and still had time for a mani/pedi. I had a great time at the party until it was time to go and walking to my car, I rolled my ankle in a divot in the grass that I couldn't see in the dark. I am in a fairly strong amount of pain this morning and cannot bear any weight on my right foot. My husband wanted me to go to the Dr this morning but I'm going to give it a day and do R.I.C.E. all day and see if the pain subsides at all. I'm trying to stay positive, hoping this will pass quickly and I can get back to my workouts. But if I am down for a bit for this to heal & have to pause my 90 day challenge then I will find a back-up plan that does not involve weight bearing but will still keep me moving forward in my fitness goals. "Just because you are hurt, doesn't mean you are broken."
9/29 = No Weigh in. Much improvement in my foot injury but still very painful and can't bear weight fully. I have to have a brace on my foot to bear any weight at all. So won't be weighing in until I can stand without that. I've being using an Arnica cream since Friday on my foot and added in Arnica tablets as well today, hope these help I found a woman on YouTube that has a series of workout videos for people who have an injured foot and did one today. I don't think these will burn really any calories but at least will hopefully keep me in the correct mindset. I think tomorrow I'll do a Pilates mat workout.
9/30 = No Weigh in, still in brace. Thank you for all the well wishes & hugs, the support on this board is the best! Foot pain is still the same as yesterday. I rested pretty much all day to stay off my foot but that kind of got me in a funk...wallowed in a little self pity & felt a little weepy all day. But I stayed on track with my calories and did a 20 minute Pilates mat workout (no weight bearing involved). Hopefully, I will bounce back tomorrow mood wise.
10/1 = No Weigh in
10/2 = No Weigh in
10/3 = 142.9 (up 1.4 from last weigh-in) I'm still here, still in a brace, but in less pain I can fully bear weigh now without the brace on, although gingerly. I'm going to continue to wear it and still rest as much as possible to help the healing process. While, I can bear weight, if I twist or turn the ankle I get a sharp pain, so I still need to keep it stabilized. Since injuring my foot, have only been partially logging my calories and know I have been over on a few days this past week, but happy to say I have NOT gone on a stress eating binge...even though I felt the urge to do it! I am going to try some gentle yoga today and see how it feels, will stop if any pain. Tonight, I have a get together at a friend's house and then tomorrow my husband & I are celebrating our15th wedding anniversary and going out to dinner. I will be mindful of my eating at both but likely will be over calories. I will be back to 100% logging and being under calories in Round 55. And hopefully at some point next week, can start back up on my 90 Day Challenge workouts, even if I have to do a lot of modifications to lessen the intensity.

T- 1 149 Eliminating sugar/processed foods from my diet. Taking time for myself to move my body. And setting myself up for success at home and at work.
Good day. Walked a lot. Ate well. Stayed away from sugar. Set up house routines.
1 145 Goal for the day: Weight training.
Another good day! Lifted and then played hoops with the boy. > 10k steps. Food was spot on. House is looking good. Need to get the phone out of the bedroom….
2 145 Goal for the day: Exercise of some sort. Slept in this morning instead of exercising.
Walked for exercise. Walked at my desk; at lunch; and in the plant. Steps ~14k. Good night of food.
3 147 Ate some peanuts last night before bed. Scaled showed it this morning. Not worrying about it. Did something to my shoulder on Tuesday. Slept like crap last night.
Goal for today: Be gentle with myself.
4-6 IDK Good weekend, I suppose. Not going to try and rehash it. Stayed away from the wine. And didn’t get into too much chocolate. Exercised on Saturday despite my shoulder. Ready to refocus.
7 147 Exercised this morning with my buddy.
My goal today: 10K steps. Accurate food journaling. Meditation.
Meditation at lunch. Didn’t quite get to 10k. Kids needed mom with homework and reading. Food was logged, it was whole, but I could have cut down on the portions. It was a good day.
8 147 Morning exercise in the kitchen. Followed by Miracle morning.
Goal today: 10k steps. Meditation. Food journaling. Vision Board.
Results: Hit the steps! Got the board done! Journaled my food (there were a few bites of shake I didn’t capture). Meditation during Vision Board planning.

9 146.5 Morning Exercise- Yoga. Proceeded by Miracle morning.
Goal today: 10k steps. And keeping at calorie goal. A stress free night with the kids. (Got to figure out how that is going to happen…)

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 DNW Holy Moley, I had to leave super early for a work issue and didn't weigh, definitely subconsciously skipped the weigh in on purpose since I ate over 2000 calories yesterday, full disclosure. We will see what tomorrow looks like!
9/26 150.8 Second day of eating whatever, it was my daughter's birthday and I made quite the spread. Broke my no second's rule, indulged in warm fresh birthday donuts for dessert...plan for today through end of round is low carb. We are celebrating again on Friday with 40+ people and she requested a Southern menu, any recipes out there for brisket? I have never made it.
9/27 150.2 Good day eating, low carb higher protein, walked the hill, same plan for today. Thank you everyone for the support, and welcome to all the new people! It's a great, supportive group!
9/28 149.4 Still feeling the bloat and general discomfort of the 2 days of eating without tracking, but yesterday was good. Tonight 40+ people at my house for my daughter's birthday, Brisket, Ribs, Mac and Cheese, Green Beans, Cornbread, Salad, and her favorite Napoleon for dessert on the menu per her request. Not my normal cooking style, but it's looking tasty. Salad for me, I plan on front loading my lean protein before the function so I can just cook/mingle/hold babies and not eat! Countdown 1 week to Maui!
9/29 DNW and did not track :-(
9/30 151 Going backwards this round, I have lost focus. NSV's though I have been walking our hill 7 days a week (this is a 3 mile loop, about 40 stories according to my fitbit) It is easy for me now 2 months in, and finally getting easier for my hunny who started a month ago. Hoping to add a second loop when we get back from Maui. Back on track today (Sunday), putting the past behind me and moving forward. Too many goodies in the house and I did not resist. I threw it all away and the house is safe again. Whew.
10/1 WEIGH IN DAY 149.2 At least I am back below 150, but I still have some work to do. I started logging my food on Fitbit instead of MFP and am going to use the fitbit calorie goals instead for the rest of this round, they adjust according to my activity. Same end result I am seeking but new method, trying to keep focus. Maui in 4 days! Can't wait to eat fish!!
10/2 149.8 Looks like a maintenance round, focused on dropping to at least 149 again by end of round. Maui in 3 days- stay away from carbs til Friday!! Plan while I'm there is to fully enjoy it but that does not mean eating crazy. Plus is we have a condo, and will stop at Safeway for some stuff. Plan on fully taking advantage of the fresh fish for every dinner!
10/3 149.6 Focusing on hydration today as I feel a slight headache coming, my skin looks dry, and I was thirsty overnight. Ate well yesterday, but have been eating protein bars again (>_<) These are definitely a weird trigger food for me. I MUST STOP BUYING THEM. NSV My honey walked the hill without stopping! He usually redlines a couple of times and has to stop, but a month in and he did it straight! So happy to be on the same page with him. 2 more days until Maui!! We so need this, we have a 16yo homeschooled son and a 23yo special needs son, as well as a business that takes a lot of energy. My DH and I spend a lot of time together, but it's just regular time, if that makes sense. Not one-on-one couple time, so we are super excited to be able to be "honeymooners"!!!

Ultimate Goal 190
9/25 -276 lbs (No Change) These night time munchies are killing me. I do well all day then kill it after dinner. Its a real tough time. I have to get out of this mindset. Will work on other options to keep my munch monster at bay.
9/26 – (No Scale) Out of town for a few days. Staying on track yesterday and so far today all is well. Business trips make it difficult sometimes to stay with a routine. Determined to stay with this.
9/27 )(No Scale) Still holding to the program. Subway salads have become a staple for dinner lately. Easy to find one anywhere out of town. Switched from munching on peanuts when hungry to grapes. Don't know how that's going to work out. Guess I'll see in a few days.
9/28 (No Scale) Repeat of yesterday. Finally got home this morning but too late to weigh in so tomorrow morning I will see if any drop has occurred. Sure hope so because its getting difficult to keep this up. It should not be this way. Not being very active I am sure does not help anything. Ok no more negativity! I can see a difference in waist size by taking in a notch on the belt. Thats a good thing.
9/29 – 272 (-4 lbs) Well thats some improvement. Went out of town for three days and managed to lose weight. I usually either gain or maintain anytime I am away from home and outside my normal routine. Subway salads are my out of town dinners these days.
9/30 -271 (-1 lb) Yeah! I just may make it to my goal for this challenge. Sure will be nice to get out of this decade. It's been a while. Hanging on!!
10/01 -272 (+1 lb) Welcome to October. Ok its the after dinner snacking thats getting me. Time to put on the brakes full stop. No more anything after dinner. Zip, Nada, Zilch. This is a really bad habit that has to be ended! Hungry? Drink water! Have a good week everyone.
10/02 -272 (No Change) Wating for the next move down. Hope to see some improvement soon. I am getting anxious about not dropping as quickly as I wanted.
10/03 – 271 (-1 lb) See saw here and one day left on this round. Don't know if I will get to the goal but its still possible. I've been way under my calorie allotment the past few days so I hope I will see the usuall big drop after a few days in level status. I'll know tomorrow morning. Keeping my hopes alive.

9/25 - Tuesday - 183.8 - Back at it after taking last round off. Was feeling down about a few days of increased scale numbers due to "taking a weekend off" and TOM. Took a few days to remind myself that the scale is just data, not judgement. It was a bit of struggle to eat well during this time - the comfort food cravings have been strong. But last nights NSV came when I revamped my grocery list to be a little more veggie centric. Got my low carb wraps for lunch again rather than sub rolls - chicken and ground turkey instead of red meat and more red meat, and avoided most of the desserts. I'm being more mindful of overeating - I didnt need the last piece of pizza I ate last night, but I had logged it so I felt justified - today I'm acknowledging that I overate beyond my feeling of fullness. This round I really just want to revamp habits that have been working for me and start trusting the process again - Wake up early, drink shake, take fish oil, lots of water at work, AM meds, eat packed lunch, have a 3pm snack, pm meds, cook dinner at home, take fish oil, walk dog, get a good nights sleep.
9/26 - Wednesday - 183.8 - A good day yesterday! Listened to my hunger cues - lunch was not appealing - ate most of my calories later on in the day but did not overeat! Gave last 1/4 of my burger to DH! Forgot fish oil but the habit is improving. Lots of water, need to get on that today! Dinner at parents house tonight - mom is a healthy cook so just need to reign in my portions and log the best I can. Visualizing 182 sticking around this round!
9/27 - Thursday - 181.0 - Had some tummy troubles over night so not exactly sure this number will stick around. But I ate smart yesterday - enjoyed a little of everything at my moms. Had to stay up late due to flood warnings and slept terrible. So morning habits went out the window, no breakfast, no lunch packed. But I did get up nice and early despite my exhaustion - it will definitely be a bed early kind of night!
9/28 - Friday - 180.0 - Migraine yesterday from 10a-2p made me skip lunch entirely. Had to lay down for 20 minutes because it was so bad I thought I was going to yak. Yikes. All from not having coffee first thing?! Taco bell breakfast yesterday and again this morning - coming into work earlier means being hungry more, so need to get back to protein shake for breakfast. Struggling to take fish oil - just not making it a priority and I need to. Also need lots of water today or I'll be sorry. I can feel the migraine lingering waiting to pounce the second Im dehydrated. Today by BMI standards I am overweight not obese! Adding in another short term goal for 170.0 by 2019!
9/29 - Saturday - 181.4 - Raviolis for dinner last night. Slow morning - did a few chores and had a big brunch. Headed out for a hike mid afternoon. About 4 miles total, 1.5hrs of climbing. Rented two movies and got an early dinner at Papa ginos - it mostly fit my calories for the day with all the activity!
9/30 - Sunday - 183.6 - Sodium and sore muscles! Lingering sinus headache but managing it well. Out for a mystery drive today - started with a cliff bar. Went to the dog park and then ended up at a country store for a late lunch, split a turkey sandwich with DH and couldnt resist splitting a cookie either. Took the most glorious afternoon cat nap in the sun and felt an overwhelming sense of peace, calm and gratitude for life. Parents invited us out for impromtu sushi date - we shared a boat, which was awesome because more sashimi, less maki meant for better macros. I wanted ice cream on the way home but DH said we should pass since we already had a cookie today, looks like the healthy habits are rubbing off on him too!
10/1 - Monday - 183.6 - No gain from yesterday so I'm cool with that! Lots of water today and I'm hoping to flush out the rest of the sodium. Lingering sinus headache still - golden rod is killing me. BUSY month coming up! My last first 29th birthday! Two sets of visitors staying with us. A big Halloween party with the best pot luck food ever. Soooo I'll definitely have to do some planning and be mindful this month while still enjoying life. (Sunday tech troubles - The app logged me out and now I cant log back in on mobile grrr)
10/2 - Tuesday - 183.0 - Grocery shopped yesterday after work. Late late dinner at almost 9 and then two pieces of blueberry pie after that...calories for the day were still good somehow. My dad is coming to stay with us for a few days - so I planned for a few simple meals which means higher sodium with convenience foods like instant potatoes and deli meat - but I'm striving for balance between healthy eating and my sanity! We might end up eating out one night. But I'm visualizing my goal of 182 on Thursday and I'll make smart choices til I get there!
10/3 - Wednesday - 181.4 - Feel good about yesterday - followed thru on most habits, cooked dinner at home, and remained mostly stress free! Calories were on the low side for the day but I listened to my hunger cues and definitely didn't starve myself. Dad arrived and joined us for dinner at home last night. He wants to take us out tonight - but weigh in tomorrow had me wishing we could do it tomorrow instead. But even if I don't weight in "at goal" tomorrow I will keep doing what I'm doing because I know regardless of what the scale says tomorrow I am moving in the right direction! Might think about removing the "goal weight" for each round and just focus on the bigger picture. We will see - visualizing 181 for tomorrow!

Round 54 (My 8th Round)
9/25 156 I did great on all my macros until the late night craving hit me. I was a couple hundred calories under after dinner so it just ended up balancing out after I ate what I was craving. Just wish it didn't hit me so late. On a brighter note, loved the fall like weather yesterday morning! It was beautiful out. Can't wait until it stays like that for a while, and the trees start turning. The park I go to to walk is so beautiful, especially when the leaves start turning 😊.
9/26 155 yayy I am so excited. 10 pounds away from a normal BMI. I am beyond proud of myself. Yesterday was also a light day so I know that's contributed to part of this loss but I'm still taking credit for all the hard work.
9/27 155 soo happy that the scales were correct yesterday. I was speaking to someone yesterday who was complimenting me and asking how much weight I had lost, and my Husband overheard me tell them I still wanted to lose more. He doesn't want me to lose any more lol but I told him that I loved him, but I am doing this for me and I want to be happy with my body, and healthy.
That is really what matters in this whole thing, do this for "you". Being an inspiration to my family is a plus also, because I want them healthy as well.
9/28 155 Ate junk half the day yesterday so my macros were high. Stayed under my goal but I did use some exercise calories. I decided I'm going to walk at least 2 miles/day a few times a week, on top of my daily exercises. Would like to work my way up to jogging/running but it's hard to do right now because I always have my 5 month old with me. Maybe Santa will bring me an Elliptical for Christmas this year 😊.
9/29 155 was well under my calorie goal yesterday but I feel like my body has been retaining water. I have been drinking lots of water, at least trying to. Higher on the sodium end though the past 2 days, and I've had hot sauce the past 2 days at dinner. I sure hope I don't have to give up my love for hot sauce . Will be drinking cucumber water today, hopefully that'll help.
9/30 154 Excellent way to end September, with another pound lost 😊 and my round goal met. Great day yesterday. Had around a gallon of water, most of it being cucumber water. I could tell it really made a difference as I was relieving water all day yesterday. I made a fresh pineapple strawberry smoothie for dinner. I need to do that more often, I think light dinners really help. It's also easier to do when Hubby isn't around, he has been in graveyard shift all weekend.
10/1 154 I'll be content if I stay here this round . I am thanking God every day for allowing me to get my health in control, even though I am still a working progress. Yesterday I went over on my total fat, like a good bit over. Not too worried about it though because I didn't eat bad, I added almonds into my diet and I had peanut butter in my oatmeal as well.
10/2 154 Didn't eat the greatest yesterday, my husband brought me home a chicken biscuit. Had cubed steak and gravy for dinner and also had 2 mini cupcakes for dessert. BUT on a positive note, I walked 2 miles yesterday morning, did zumba in the evening and I added a new 5 minute squat routine . Going to make better food choices today. Still humble .
10/3 153.5 sooo happy! 😊 I think adding in 2 miles of walking a few times a week, along with my daily exercises is really paying off.

@MyEvolvingJourney - I was diagnosed with BPPV (positional vertigo) by a family Doctor. The Epley maneuver is usually used to treat this. I treated it myself successfully a few years ago using internet videos. It wasn't working this time and after mentioning it during Round 49, @quiltingjaine sent me the following message:
@jaccimc63 At 68 years, 61”, and sedentary, my Garmin has my calories at 1340. I think you may need to increase your calories a bit. And...
As crazy as this thing sounds, it works. A neighbor loaned me his and I did the adjustment twice in a row and the vertigo was gone. It isn’t cheap but it’s so worth it IMHO.

You have to know which ear is causing the issue but it worked in one day for me. It showed me that I wasn't doing the maneuver exactly the right way on my own. It was worth every penny.4 -

9/26 - Just found this thread so didn't weigh this morning. Today is day 1. Must make good food choices and run tonight
9/27 - 163.6 Ate ok yesterday and went for the first run on my Half Marathon training plan. Only 3km but it was tough. Need to cut down the snacking at work.
9/28 - 163.9 Was happy the number stayed the same as I would up eating chinese food for lunch (my boss asked me to come to lunch with them and I couldn't say no). Did my run last night... late but I got it in. Today is going to be bad. I woke up starving, have another lunch meeting today and hubs wants to have dinner together tonight because he's not around Saturday
9/29 - 165.2 Yup. I deserved that. Yesterday was not good. I'm hoping it's at least some water thought. Salty foods too days in a row and TOM coming up.
9/30 - 165.2
10/1 - Didn't weigh in morning. TOM should be today or tomorrow so am full of water right now
10/2 - 166.8
10/3 - 164 Ate better yesterday (still not great, and missed my run). Hopefully this time the number on the scales stays down

@FarmerCarla On Keto Carbs are a limit, Protein is a target, and Fat is the lever to satiety. CALORIES are not part of that equation. Did you see the picture I posted yesterday?
@airbeat Five pounds in 8 days is very good. Keep at it!
@MyEvolvingJourney http://www.dizzyfix.com
I don’t remember how I figured out which ear was my problem but it was somewhere on the internet. It may even have been on the dizzy fix website,
@lolakinks Who control’s your diet, if not you??

9/28, 221, I'm really not sure how I'm losing weight. I average 1500 calories a day and almost always go over my calorie goal. I have switched to healthier calories though. Frozen grapes and dark chocolate are my main desserts. I'm using half the amount of dressing that I usually use on salads. I've been having salads for lunch. I also try to walk a mile while at work. I'm also saving money now that I'm eating out less. It doesn't seem like much so I'm surprised at the difference it's made. Losing weight is usually so much harder than this, it doesn't feel real at all. At this rate I might reach onederland by January!!! That would be so amazing, just gotta keep working at it.

9/30, Out of town, didn't weigh.
10/1, 220.5, Traveled over the weekend and ate so much. Not sure how this is possible.
10/2, 221, Eating out is catching up with me. Gotta avoid the pizza and the jalepeno cheetos. Doing my best not to eat my feelings to day.
10/3, 220, Rallied and stayed under my calorie goal yesterday.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

9/28 130.5 Went with a friend as her guest, to the gym yesterday. Walked on treadmill 30 minutes and got 184% of steps. Went to water fitness today.
9/29 132.5 We met friends from out of town for dinner last night. It was several hours later than we usually eat. I had a salad and steak, both of which were very good. But eating late is not a good thing. I’m up 2# but know that it will pass in the next couple of days.
9/30 132.0 Did not drink enough water yesterday but had 40 oz of diet soda! I wanted “something” but made myself bloated and miserable rather than eating food I didn’t need. I think it’s a win. DH wants to ”go for a drive.” Several hours in the car and eating out.
10/1 132.5 Yesterday’s drive through the Virgin River Gorge was beautiful. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger salad for lunch. I wish it had been a patty on the salad rather than crumbled but it was what it was. I have been craving salad for about a week and finally bought the stuff to make one then went out to eat and got one. Tonight - egg roll in a bowl!!
10/2 132.5 Over 10K steps yesterday due to water fitness, doing treadmill at the gym with a friend and running errands. Most unusual.
10/3 132.0 Making dog biscuits for the bake sale at the Pet Parade.6 -
